  1. Debate contribution: Reducing Barriers to All-Ireland Student Mobility

    Thank you; I do not plan to use it. This party believes that it is sensible to have cross-border cooperation. We are not against that; we have seen it in health and other areas. I was not looking to get into a back and forward. From your party's point of view, there is a plan to project the idea of moving in a…

  2. Debate contribution: Reducing Barriers to All-Ireland Student Mobility

    Does the Member not agree that, given the points that we raised about all-Ireland opportunities, what we are flagging is that the skills gaps in the North are the same as those in the South? There is nothing ideological about noting that there are economic gaps.

  5. Debate contribution: Reducing Barriers to All-Ireland Student Mobility

    I beg to move Go raibh maith agat, a Phríomh-Leas-Cheann Comhairle. A chairde , we ask the House to support a simple but powerful idea: no young person on this island should be held back from accessing education by an artificial barrier, be it financial, bureaucratic or political. Education should open doors; it…

    • Mr Paul Givan DUP
    • Ministerial Statements
    • As a minister

    That is a really important question. It is not a matter that was expressly on the agenda for that particular sectoral meeting. However, it is an area that my officials and I are engaged on in looking at the barriers that inhibit people from Northern Ireland from accessing universities in the Republic of Ireland. The…

    I thank the Minister for his update this afternoon. Going back to RAISE, can you detail how much of the €24 million that has been allocated to Northern Ireland will actually be spent? Are any guarantees in place to ensure that it directly benefits disadvantaged pupils here?
